I myself am one of the users of that website and I’m well aware of our customers’ expectations from such kind of online communication platforms. This customer-oriented approach, deriving from Ucom’s strategy, is obviously pleasing,” says Tigran Safaryan, Director of Marketing and Communications at Ucom.

The cache enables servers to respond to Facebook requests in a faster and uninterrupted way. At the same time, by unloading the company’s international channels, Facebook’s cache enables to improve the quality and availability of other services. The cache maintains the most frequently requested content by the users, and provides immediate access to the resources without any need to download data from the servers located abroad. Due to this, the resource performance and reliability have accelerated significantly.
